N.E.W. WRESTLING SHOW RECEIVES RAVE REVIEWS
Production staff working to create complete first show for online fans
WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. – Wrestling fans in the Mid-South can’t stop talking about the region’s newest wrestling promotion – New Experience Wrestling (N.E.W.)
Fans in attendance at last Friday’s first N.E.W. television taping in West Memphis were treated to one hour of hard hitting, non-stop wrestling action.
“We’re very pleased with the first show,” said “Nightmare” Ken Wayne, N.E.W. owner. “I’m proud of the efforts from everyone involved from the wrestlers themselves to our TV production crew to everyone else who made our first event a reality.”
Matt Justice and Greg King Jr., two of the students from Wayne’s Wrestling School based in West Memphis, opened the show with an athletic display that certainly set the tone for what N.E.W. will be. Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch the match, along with the entire first half of the show, was filmed with no audio. Originally planning to release just the footage that included audio, N.E.W.’s management staff has since decided to provide new audio tracks to the show to make sure that fans get the entire hour of action.
“We would rather wait a little longer and give fans a product that is exactly what N.E.W. is all about,” said Wayne. “We’re not about half efforts here. I ask that all of our fans just hang with us a few more days and we will soon have the complete first show posted at www.nightmarekenwayne.com.”
Other stars featured in the first show included “3G” Eric Wayne, Kid Nikels, Derrick King and Tatt2.
Wrestling insider Brian Tramel, who operates the wrestling website www.rronews.com, was very impressed with what he saw last Friday.
“Eight guys put on a one hour show that was easily better than anything that has aired on Memphis Wrestling in over two years,” said Tramel in his online report of the event.
Long time wrestling veteran Luke Graham Jr. was also amazed with the talent involved with the new promotion.
“Ken (Wayne) put together an absolutely great night in a small venue with a comfortable studio feel,” said Graham. “These boys from Ken’s school are some of the best technical wrestlers that I have seen in this area in a long time.”
With the first show still fresh in the minds of fans, N.E.W. will not waste in time in bringing more action to the Mid-South. The second N.E.W. television taping is slated for Friday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. at the “Nightmare Ken Wayne School of Professional Wrestling,” 201 E. Jefferson St. Building No. 2, in West Memphis.
Initially planning to charge a fee for the second and third events, Wayne and his staff has decided to do the next two events at no charge.
“We certainly feel bad about the technical error that will cause fans to have to wait a little longer to see the online version of our first show and this is a way we can give back and show them that we truly appreciate their support,” he said.
The second show will again feature “3G” Eric Wayne, Derrick King, Tatt2 and Kid Nikels in addition to a rematch between Greg King Jr. and Matt Justice.
“Greg and Matt had such a fantastic bout,” said Wayne. “I know they are prepared to face off again in what should be a remarkable contest.”
